Gotham City Digest

(In which we vow to do our utmost to send out the clowns.)

      This is why I cringe when I wonder what other countries think of Trump.

      1800 year-old horse skeletons and a full Roman chariot were recently unearthed in Croatia.

      Pay attention to your history.

      I loves me some Charlie Pierce.

      Yeah, I don't see Donnie Dumbo following suit.

      Parents, before posting pictures of your kids online, read this first.

     I never thought I'd live to see this in my lifetime. I'm almost amazed Trump didn't give them a guided tour.

     Her pimping of the F-35 and Trump's ridiculous Space Force alone would've made me vote against her.

     I'd never seen a lot of things prior to this administration. One of them is a former Defense Secretary taking swipes at a Commander in Chief who takes swipes at him. And because of Trump, we're living in a very uncivil age.

      Another unqualified assclown right wing stooge that Trump & McConnell want to put on the bench for the rest of his life.

      One and a quarter million in scholarship offers. You go, Mom.

      Bald guys are "smart", "dominant" and "sexy"? Then explain Trump.

    Best find o' the day if not the week. My friend Kathleen Cosgrove bought the domain name DoralG7summit.com. Please share liberally.

      In case you were wondering what this lady is playing to the strains of "Ghost Riders in the Sky", it's called a "đàn bầu". This is one incredible cover.

      Man who owns a corporation that gives a platform for right wing hate groups, child sex traffickers & Russian trolls but censors and suspends people for quoting St. Augustine gives a lecture on free speech. Hilarity ensued.
        These are the comments generated by some of Fuckbook's hundreds of millions of mostly Indian bots that Zuckerberg does dick about in response to his not so free speech (no questions allowed) about free speech. Among my favorites:
       "I would like to have sex with him some day." From a dude.
       "I got divorced on Facebook."

        I've been keeping a quick eye here and there on the month-old GM-UAW strike. But it seems to me this $11,000 "ratification bonus" is just a carrot on a stick to make them overlook the fact that GM still insists in closing down three plants such as Lordstown. That 11 grand, which is taxable income, will only get used to pay down debts that have mounted since the strike began and they were reduced to just $250 a week on the picket line (which just got inched up $25 a week). You'd be surprised how fast $11,000 can go nowadays, especially when you have kids, car payments and a mortgage.

      It has the ability to learn, solve moderately complex problems and can pass on information it learns.
       In other words, it's smarter than our "president."

       Yeah, I can picture him doing this.

       In Trumplandia, pulling a top Kurdish politician out of her car and shooting her in the head is, get this, "rough love."

       I think Chris Wallace nails it right here. This so-called cease-fire looks more like Trump's holding out a white flag.

       The invisible buses of the free market.

       “I can’t believe what I see.” You're not the only one, comrade.

       The GOP has been completely subsumed by the Russian government. What we've learned about its interference in the 2016 election is just the tip of the iceberg, believe me.

       So, naturally, being typical stupid right wingers, they're angrier at Mulvaney spilling the beans on Trump than they are at their corrupt "president" for giving him something to spill.

       I swear to God, between Cipillone's letter to the Democrats, Trump's letter to Erdogan and now this one from Harder to CNN, the letters coming out of this administration this past week and a half read like something out of The Onion.

      Meme intermission.

      It's one thing to brazenly admit to your corruption then tell the press to "Get over it." It's another thing to make that a fundraising pitch. They might as well sell tee shirts emblazoned with, "Russia, if you're listening..."

       One woman there said she was obsessed with sitting on Trump's golden toilet. There ya go, hun, aim for the stars.

       Oh, shut the fuck up, McConnell. You enabled this asshole and continued enabling him because he gave your wife a job. You like to advance the right wing talking point that it's all Obama's fault for pulling us out of Iraq too soon. But who'd invaded Iraq in the first place under false pretenses?

      At 7:35 pm, it was reported that Tulsi Gabbard was over an hour late for a press event in Iowa and that her aides weren't telling people what was going on.
        
       That's because she was busy doing this:
        Look, Gabbard makes me sick but she's no Russian asset. So, Clinton deserved this slap.

       So, Turkey's been caught using napalm and white phosphorus on Kurdish kids. So why is it up to a tabloid rag like the Post to write about this? I'm seeing this nowhere else in the MSM.

       This was two and a half years ago. And, of course, Trump and Pruitt decided to ignore that study.

       McGurk's right. Trump DOESN'T know what the fuck he's doing and he willingly made himself irrelevant. But anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that.

        Thanks, Trump voters.

        Thanks, Trump voters, Pt 2.

        In the end, it won't be CO2 that'll kill us, it'll be methane, much of it emanating from Russia.

       This came from the very top. This is exactly the kind of racist dick move Trump would pull.
        What HUD said in this hearing is the exact same thing Trump had said after Hurricanes Maria & Irma- That Puerto Rico is too stupid and corrupt to manage funds of this magnitude.
        Which is rather ironic, coming from Trump.

       On my Android, just above this story about the talcum powder recall is a paid ad from Johnson & Johnson that states, "Our product is safe. But don't take our word for it. Thousands of tests have proven..."
       Which goes to show you how disingenuous ads can be and often are and how useless these so-called independent tests are.

       This just broke about five hours ago- Trump's OTHER fixer, Bill Barr, is now widening the scope of his investigation into the Russia investigators. Politicizing the Justice Department, the same thing Bush did, is a crime and this, too, needs to be folded into the impeachment inquiries. Even with the lack of transparency, it's rather screamingly obvious this is being orchestrated by Trump at the top.

        Faith an' begorrah, if ya gotta exit, ya might as well do it laughing.

       To show you once again how worthless the MSM are, it was never reported until now that Trump & his family got out of the limousine and deliberately walked past the Trump Hotel.

       I don't know why the GOP is only just now kicking against this. Trump already signaled a day after the last G7 that he planned to hold the next one at Doral. I know, since I wrote about it last summer in a blog post entitled "The Lard of the Manor" (Which was linked to on Crooks & Liars.).

       I'm amazed right wingers are still pulliing this shit. The Supreme Court already ruled decades ago that poll taxes were illegal. In the 19th century, blacks weren't allowed to vote in NYC unless they owned at least $250 in property. That meant that only a very small handful of African Americans in Seneca Village could vote in a city the size of New York. But by 1857, we found a way around that, too- We simply stole their land through eminent domain, razed their homes and Seneca Village became a large part of Central Park.
        Douchebags like Rick Scott want to return us to those days.

       This goes back to July last year but it's still very telling about how hostile this White House is toward the truth. And finally...

       This is coming straight from the SDF commander. Turkey is taking a page from Israel's playbook and visiting misery on their victims then blocking any means of retreat.
